Finding non-expiring keys in Redis

Question

In my setup, the info command shows me the following:

[keys] => 1128
[expires] => 1125

I\'d like to find those 3 keys wi

Answer 1

@Waynn Lue's answer runs but uses the Redis KEYS command which Redis warns about:

Warning: consider KEYS as a command that should only be used in production environments with extreme care. It may ruin performance when it is executed against large databases.

Redis documentation recommends using SCAN.

redis-cli --scan | while read LINE ; do TTL=`redis-cli ttl "$LINE"`; if [ $TTL -eq  -1 ]; then echo "$LINE"; fi; done;

If you want to scan for a specific key pattern, use:

 redis-cli --scan --pattern "something*"

Answer 2

#!/usr/bin/env python

import argparse
import redis

p = argparse.ArgumentParser()
p.add_argument("-i", '--host', type=str, default="127.0.0.1", help="redis host", required=False)
p.add_argument("-p", '--port', type=int, default=6379, help="redis port", required=False)
p.add_argument("-n", '--db', type=int, default=0, help="redis database", required=False)

args = p.parse_args()

r = redis.Redis(host=args.host, port=args.port, db=args.db)

try:
    keys = r.keys()

    for key in keys:
        if r.ttl(key) < 0:
            print(key)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    pass

Answer 3

In case somebody is getting bad arguments or wrong number of arguments error, put double quotes around $LINE.

So,it would be

redis-cli keys  "*" | while read LINE ; do TTL=`redis-cli ttl "$LINE"`; if [ $TTL -eq  -1 ]; then echo "$LINE"; fi; done;

This happens when there are spaces in the key.

Answer 4

Modified from a site that I can't find now.

redis-cli keys  "*" | while read LINE ; do TTL=`redis-cli ttl "$LINE"`; if [ $TTL -eq  -1 ]; then echo "$LINE"; fi; done;

edit: Note, this is a blocking call.
